A method of making active pharmaceutical ingredient particles with surface-modified nanoparticles deposited on the particles' surfaces, the method comprising: providing a plurality of media particles having surfaces with the surface-modified nanoparticles deposited on the surfaces; mixing the plurality of media particles with the active ingredient particles, both of which are in dry form, to provide active ingredient particles having surfaces with the surface-modified nanoparticles deposited on the surfaces; and separating the plurality of media particles from the active ingredient particles having surfaces with the surface-modified nanoparticles deposited on the surfaces is disclosed.
摘要:
A pressure-sensitive medical sealant composition comprising (a) a crosslinked, swellable polymeric matrix made from an N-vinyl lactam monomer and a multi-ethylenically unsaturated compound, wherein the ethylenic groups are vinyl groups, allyl groups or methallyl groups, which groups are bonded to nitrogen or oxygen atoms; (b) a plasticizer; and (c) an antimicrobial. The medical sealant is highly moisture vapor transmissive and is capable of incorporating large concentrations of iodine. The composition can be used in a variety of medical applications including as a teat plug, a wound or burn dressing, or as a sealant to seal junctions between medical instruments penetrating the skin and the skin. A method of preparing the medical sealant composition in a caulkable form is also disclosed.

摘要:
Methods, compounds, and medicinal formulations utilizing biocompatible polymers for delivery of a drug, particularly for solubilizing, stabilizing and/or providing sustained release of drug from topical, implantable, and inhalation systems. Many of the methods, compounds, and medicinal formulations are particularly suitable for oral and/or nasal inhalation and use polymers of the formula --[X--R.sup.1 --C(O)]-- wherein each R.sup.1 is an independently selected organic group that links the --X-- group to the carbonyl group, and each X is independently oxygen, sulfur, or catenary nitrogen.
摘要:
A hydrophilic, pressure-sensitive adhesive composition prepared by irradiating solid poly(N-vinyl lactam) with ionizing radiation to crosslink the poly(N-vinyl lactam) and thereafter mixing the radiation-crosslinked poly(N-vinyl lactam) with essentially unirradiated plasticizer in an amount sufficient to form a cohesive, pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. The composition is useful as a biomedical adhesive for transmitting or receiving electrical signals as a component of a biomedical electrode. The composition is also useful as a drug delivery device to deliver pharmaceuticals or other active ingredients to or through mammalian skin. The composition is also useful as a component in a skin covering for protecting mammalian skin or mammalian skin openings with antimicrobial agents. A method of preparation of the composition is also disclosed.
摘要:
Hydrophilic, cohesive, pressure-sensitive adhesive compositions are provided comprising a) a crosslinked, swellable polymeric matrix made from an N-vinyl lactam monomer and a multi-ethylenically unsaturated compound, wherein the ethylenic groups are vinyl groups, allyl groups, and/or methallyl groups, which groups are bonded to nitrogen or oxygen atoms, and b) a plasticizer for the copolymer wherein the amount of the multi-ethylenically unsaturated compound and the plasticizer are present in amounts sufficient to render the polymeric matrix cohesive, swellable and pressure-sensitive adhesive. These compositions can also be used as adhesives for biomedical electrodes and transdermal drug delivery systems.
摘要:
A method of treating a patient with a microneedle array having an active agent disposed on at least a portion of one or more of the microneedles, wherein the array with active agent is characterized by a first optical response when probed with a selected incident light spectrum. The array with active agent is applied to a skin surface, optionally allowed to remain on the skin surface for a specified time, and removed. The used array is probed with the selected incident light spectrum, a second optical response is sensed, and the difference between the first optical response and the second optical response is determined and compared to a predetermined threshold value.
摘要:
A microneedle array having a substrate and a plurality of microneedles extending out from the substrate with a multi-phase matrix coating on at least a portion of the microneedle surface of the microneedle array. The multi-phase matrix coating comprises an active substance and has a first solid phase and a liquid phase. The first solid phase comprises a water-soluble polymer. Also, a method of providing an active substance- containing matrix coating on a microneedle array in which a water-soluble polymer is applied to the microneedle surface of the array to form a dried coating of water-soluble polymer. A coating solution comprising an active substance, a liquid capable of phase separating from the water-soluble polymer, and a carrier fluid is prepared and applied to the dried coating of water-soluble polymer. At least a portion of the carrier fluid is removed from the array.
